1 00:00:00.420 --> 00:00:05.820 Johny Fernandez: Where can brokers meet other brokers? Where can brokers meet 2 00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:06.690 other brokers? 3 00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:11.370 Sean Murray: Okay, interesting question. So, you know, networking is very 4 00:00:11.370 --> 00:00:17.700 important. If you are a broker, it's one thing to try to meet lenders but I think 5 00:00:17.730 --> 00:00:22.830 there is value in a broker having a dialogue and knowing other brokers they 6 00:00:22.830 --> 00:00:26.580 can kind of compare their notes on on the industry learn learn from each 7 00:00:26.580 --> 00:00:30.510 other, you know, build a comma camaraderie with each other. The where 8 00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:35.640 can brokers meet other brokers? So if we're talking about online, first, I 9 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:42.810 would say DailyFunder, dailyfunder.com has a lot of actual real life brokers 10 00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:47.820 from the industry talking with each other every single day. So if you want 11 00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:52.320 to meet other brokers, and you're a broker, going on daily funder isn't 12 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:57.630 essential. You don't have to post on there plenty of people use the DMs right 13 00:00:57.630 --> 00:01:02.010 and talk to each other that way. There's a lot more people who view the site than 14 00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:09.150 then even post. There's literally 1000s of brokers on DailyFunder. So you know 15 00:01:09.150 --> 00:01:14.580 whether or not you agree with, you know, the kind of the atmosphere of how they 16 00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:18.540 communicate, it is invaluable and getting to know how your competitors 17 00:01:18.540 --> 00:01:23.850 think. Right? You can learn from them for sure. You can also as mentioned 18 00:01:23.850 --> 00:01:28.530 before, go to the merchant cash advance Facebook group online, that group is 19 00:01:28.530 --> 00:01:33.060 mostly brokers to I would say it's mostly brokers asking basic questions 20 00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:36.540 like these, I imagine some of them are probably coming from from Facebook, 21 00:01:36.540 --> 00:01:40.170 right? A lot of people go to Facebook to ask basic questions, because they might 22 00:01:40.170 --> 00:01:44.190 be too afraid, you know, daily world, or the real world or on daily funder where 23 00:01:44.190 --> 00:01:49.770 they're afraid they know that the pack will attack, right. So we do find that 24 00:01:49.770 --> 00:01:53.340 people ask basic questions like these on Facebook and even in the merchant cash 25 00:01:53.340 --> 00:01:57.330 advance Facebook group. But if we're talking about offline, where can you 26 00:01:57.330 --> 00:02:02.610 meet brokers, officially, you don't have to plug our conference Broker Fair, the 27 00:02:02.610 --> 00:02:07.560 annual show we do every year is probably the best place for a broker to mingle 28 00:02:07.590 --> 00:02:12.840 with another broker. We do more than one conference per year in the non non-COVID 29 00:02:13.110 --> 00:02:19.230 you know, non-COVID environment. But we do one show one show that's specifically 30 00:02:19.260 --> 00:02:23.670 aimed at brokers. Yeah, hundreds and hundreds of brokers all in one place. 31 00:02:23.730 --> 00:02:27.360 You can take the relationship that you made online, and you can meet these 32 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.740 people in person. The next Broker Fair we're doing is on December 6th in New 33 00:02:31.740 --> 00:02:37.200 York City. The home are all the brokers are. Oh, look at that. I'm wearing a 34 00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:41.910 Broker Fair shirt. Okay, yeah, you could just go to brokerfair.org. The next one 35 00:02:41.910 --> 00:02:46.080 will be Broker Fair 2021 and you'll be able to meet plenty of brokers there and 36 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.230 it can help your career whatever it is you're trying to do. If you just want to 37 00:02:49.230 --> 00:02:52.320 learn from your peers or even see what your competitors are up to. I highly 38 00:02:52.530 --> 00:02:53.580 recommend Broker Fair.
